Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) are shown for key condition comparisons of interest in the behavioural analysis of group performance on the humour decision task. Comparisons index participant performance on aspects of humour processing (see text for further details); bold denotes patient performance significantly different from healthy controls.

*Significantly different from chance (p < .05).

**Significantly different from chance (p < .01).

OR > 1 indicates increased accuracy in labelling any humorous cartoon as humorous compared with control cartoons.

OR > 1 indicates increased accuracy in labelling familiar humorous scenarios as humorous compared with control scenarios matched for familiarity.

OR > 1 indicates increased accuracy in labelling novel humorous scenarios as humorous compared with control scenarios matched for familiarity.

OR > 1 indicates greater accuracy in labelling familiar compared with novel humorous cartoons.
